Italian

While no settlements from Italy have yet been seen in the New World, Italian sailors and merchants from Venice, Genoa, Naples and Amalfi are to be found nearly everywhere that trade happens.

Long the seat of civilization, the Italians are cultured and well-versed in language and religion throughout the world.
